Trailer Wiring Recommendations for a 2016 Nissan Pathfinder
Question:
I have a 2016 Nissan Pathfinder SV. How do I know which wiring kit to get? I am not sure how to tell if I have the factory tow package or not. Thanks.

For trailer wiring for your 2016 Nissan Pathfinder you would want the part # 118670 for a 4-way harness or for a 7-way part # 118273.
Both kits come with all the parts needed to activate the included trailer connectors on your vehicle.
The Curt trailer hitch part # C13126 has also been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle as well.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
